TS 5.4.1 requires that written procedures … TS 5.4.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained for procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Section 7.e.2 includes implementation of the Radiation Survey Program. Station Procedure RPAA503, unconditional release survey method requires, in part, that materials have no detectable radioactivity for unconditional release from the site. Contrary to the above, on June 9, 2014, a contracted sewage truck transporting contaminated sewage from Unit 1 ejector pit to the licensees sewage treatment plant was unconditionally released after the truck was emptied. Specifically, the sewage truck was unconditionally released to the contractors facility without the proper authorization from RP Management. On the following day, the truck was returned to the licensees facility for survey and decontamination by the RP staff. The empty sewage truck contained traced amount of radioactivity of Co60 and tritium above minimal detectable activities. The licensee investigation determined that the empty sewage truck did not leak or cause contamination during transit on the public road. This event was entered into the licensees CAP as CR 01673475. The Radiation Protection Department immediately stopped work. Future transport of sewage between the licensed facility and the licensees sewage treatment plant will be escorted by radiation protection personnel to ensure that drivers follow licensee direction. The significance of the finding was determined by using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix D, "Public Radiation Safety SDP." The issue is of very low safety significance (Green) because it involved radioactive material control, was not a finding involving transportation, and did not result in public exposure greater than 0.005 rem.in public exposure greater than 0.005 rem. +
